Chapter 5420 Reinforcement
Along the way, what she heard was the sound of killing outside, but Queen Zhao felt like she was sleepwalking, and she didn't wake up in a trance until she was in front of the main hall where she lived.

Anyway, she is Queen Zhao, she is the mother of a country, at this time others can collapse, but she can't.

As the most powerful woman in Daqi, she is not only a person, but also a symbol of the country. She must do what she should do.

So, how to prove your ability?

It is not feasible to hide in the deep palace and wait. The best way is... to go to the position of the tower, stay with the inner guards, try their best to defend the inner palace, and wait for the reinforcements to arrive.

Empress Zhao thought of this, and immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone, we can't just come back like this now, we must go to the city wall to have a look."

"But according to your mother's orders."

The eunuchs and the court ladies responded in unison.

"Okay, let's go." Queen Zhao said.

The gate of the inner city was already covered with scars at this time. Even though a large number of sandbags and other obstacles were piled up behind it, the gate itself was only plated with copper on the surface, and most of the whole was still a wooden structure.

"Pull the string, let it go!"

The sharp arrows were scattered towards the bottom of the tower one by one.

The Flying Eagle Guards below held their shields in their hands to block the sharp arrows flying down from above.

Except for a few who can pass through the gaps in the shield and shoot some people, most of them are blocked by the shield.

As the strongest army of the imperial guards, the Flying Eagle Guard can get the best equipment in Daqi. This kind of shield is made of iron, wood, cotton, etc., and the cushioning effect is quite good.

The armor worn by the Flying Eagle Guards was also very thick, so the casualty rate of the Flying Eagle Guards was greatly reduced.

On the contrary, the internal guards were inexperienced, suffered a lot of casualties, and their morale plummeted.

"It's not good, Feiyingwei rushed to the tower!"

Along the ladder, soldiers from the Flying Eagle Guard rushed through the blockade and boarded the tower.

If they are allowed to gain a firm foothold in the city tower, then the city tower will definitely fall.

At this critical juncture, the morale of the inner guards dropped so badly that many of them lacked the determination to die, and began to retreat steadily under the desperate attack of the Eagle Guards.

At this critical moment, suddenly there was a burst of cheers from the inner city.

"The Empress has arrived."

"Brothers, work hard. My mother said that the reinforcements will arrive soon. If you defend the inner city, you will be rewarded a lot!"

The good news from both sides immediately mobilized the inner guard's heart.

All of a sudden, the inner guards above the city tower suddenly had strength in their hands, and they showed the martial arts they had learned to the fullest.

Originally, the inner guards were born in hidden guards, so their martial arts are extraordinary, and their personal strength is far stronger than that of Feiying Guards.

However, the terrain on the tower is relatively narrow, and the battle formations of the Flying Eagle Guards cannot be truly displayed on the tower, which is where individual martial arts can be displayed.

As long as the inner guard exerts strength, the effect will come up immediately.

Not long after, the Eagle Guards who climbed up the tower were driven down again. Many Eagle Guards were hacked to death before they had time to retreat.

"Empress, the rebels have been kicked out of the city tower." An eunuch standing next to Queen Zhao exclaimed in surprise.

"It seems that it can last for a while." Queen Zhao's palm also relaxed slightly.

"Your Majesty, it won't last long."

The man standing on the other side was wearing an inner guard's armor and an orange cloak on his back. He was a deputy commander and was in charge of communication.

At this time, his face was a little ugly.

"How do you say that?" Empress Zhao's heart tightened.

"Our internal guards are running out of reserves. Up to now, all the internal guards have been able to go up. Except for the 300 people who moved the supplies behind, there is no one else, and the rebels only used one-tenth of them at most. Nine out of ten are on standby..." the deputy commander said with a gloomy face.

Empress Zhao's heart sank, and she began to panic even more.

"How long can it last?" Queen Zhao tried to calm herself down. She knew that if she was not calm, it would have a greater impact on the morale of the inner guard.

The deputy commander stretched out two fingers and said, "It can only last two waves of siege at most. After two waves, the inner guards will have no strength to fight anymore."

This is calculated based on his maximum endurance. In fact, from his point of view, it is not bad if he can survive the next wave, but he dare not tell the truth.

"Empress, when will our reinforcements arrive?" the deputy commander said.

He can continue to stand here, hoping for the reinforcements that Queen Zhao said.

Rewards after the event are all things to come. The most important thing is to save one's own life right now.

"Don't worry, it will be there soon."

Empress Zhao was comforting the deputy commander, but she was more panicked than the deputy commander in her heart. How could she know that there was any reinforcement.

The reinforcements were all guessed by him based on Qi Xingyun's usual behavior, if there really were, she still wanted to ask others.

But, who knows where Qi Xingyun is.

Just when she was worried, the next wave of attacks from Flying Eagle Guards started again.

In this wave, Zhu Licheng used the strongest power of Flying Eagle Guard. He even sent out his most powerful deputy commander, who was the strongest deputy commander in martial arts besides himself.

"Let's go, success or failure depends on it!"

Zhu Licheng raised his sword and shouted.

"Come on, the Qing emperor will punish the treacherous ministers!"

The Flying Eagle Guard was very imposing. Up until now, the exhausted internal guards, arrows and the like could not pose too much threat to the Flying Eagle Guard.

It didn't take long for the deputy commander of Feiying Guard to climb up the tower. His name was Cheng Wanpeng, he was strong, with a long body and long arms, and a mace in his hand, sweeping across the area.

Soon, on the part of the city wall he climbed, a group of inner guards had been swept away.

The power of the fierce general is fully revealed at this moment.

"Your Majesty, I'm in trouble. If the reinforcements don't show up again, I'm afraid the inner city gate won't be able to defend it." The deputy commander of the inner guard's face turned ashen.

Empress Zhao was tongue-tied and wanted to speak, but she couldn't say anything.

"Ma'am, I'm going up first."

The deputy commander saluted, then turned and ran towards the top of the tower.

At this time, if he doesn't go up, he can only wait for death below.

Holding the will to die, the deputy commander ran all the way, and when he had just entered the tower, he heard the humming of horns in his ears.

"Reinforcements, reinforcements have arrived."

The deputy commander quickly boarded the tower and looked into the distance.

In the distance, soldiers pouring in like a tide were fighting with the rebel Flying Eagle Guards.

"That's the Golden Snake Guard and the Storm Bear Guard!"

Seeing the raised flags, one could tell that it was the Golden Snake Guard and the Violent Bear Guard. They rushed over, so they didn't have to die now.

This time, Flying Eagle Guard fell into a situation of being besieged from front to back, and was quite flustered for a while.

Flying Eagle Guard Cheng Wanpeng and others were once again driven off the tower by the demoralized inner guards.
